The above is an improperly formatted SGML string (and by extension
invalid HTML syntax). When using a "<" as printable text rather than
an opening character to a tag the "<" entity should be used.
Without this convention, no parser (be it PHP or a web browser) can be
certain if you intend for the "<" to be printed or if it is detoning an
opening tag named "36dBa,".
As I'm sure you're about to mention, many browsers WILL attempt to work
with this broken syntax and display it when possible, but such
shortcuts should not be counted on by any designer.
The behavior of strip_tags which you descibe is the correct and
expected behavior.

The text after the "less than" sign is not returned in this example.
print strip_tags("<a href=index.php?mode=item&id=382>Titan 120mm fan,
<36dBa, 74.15CFM</a>");
My result is "Titan 120mm fan, " instead of expected "Titan 120mm fan,
<36dBa, 74.15CFM"
